Machines, systems, computer-implemented methods, and computer program products to test and certify oil and gas equipment
First Claim
1. A system for electronically certifying an oil and gas device, the system comprising:
- memory accessible by one or more servers, the memory storing a database of associations of device identifiers corresponding to a plurality of oil and gas equipment; and
one or more processors programmed for;
receiving a device identifier stored on an electronic tag affixed to an oil and gas device from a device of a user testing the oil and gas device,identifying the oil and gas device in the database based on the received device identifier,accessing a history of previous testing of the identified oil and gas device,selecting a sequence of testing operations for the user testing the oil and gas device to perform based on the previous testing of the identified oil and gas device,transmitting the sequence of testing operations to the device of the user for instructing the user to perform the sequence of testing operations,receiving, from the device of the user, test data responsive to performance of at least one testing operation in the sequence of testing operations, andstoring the received testing data in the database in association with the identified oil and gas device.

Abstract
Embodiments of machines, systems, computer-implemented methods, and computer program products certify oil and gas well equipment. Embodiments identify a selected well equipment device, a device test specification, and testing sequences to be performed by a corresponding testing apparatus. Embodiments select a testing sequence responsive to the selected device. Embodiments control the testing apparatus for the selected testing sequence so that the corresponding testing apparatus performs the sequence responsive to the device test specification. Embodiments generate testing data for the selected testing sequence and link the testing data for the selected testing sequence to the device identifier for the device so that a certificate can be generated. Embodiments generate a certificate for the selected device responsive to the testing sequences having been performed upon the selected device and link the certificate for the selected device to the device identifier so that the certificate can be readily recalled.

12. A method for electronically certifying an oil and gas device being tested by a testing user, the oil and gas device having an electronic tag affixed thereto that stores a device identifier associated with the oil and gas device, the method comprising:
-
accessing the device identifier from the electronic tag; transmitting the device identifier from a device of the testing user to one or more servers that have access to previous testing data associated with the oil and gas device; receiving one or more testing operations to perform on the oil and gas device, the one or more testing operations selected based on the device identifier and the previous testing data associated with the oil and gas device; instructing the testing user to perform the one or more testing operations; capturing testing data responsive to performance of the one or more testing operations on the oil and gas device; and transmitting the testing data to the one or more servers for use in generating a certificate indicating the oil and gas device is either ready for operation or is to be discarded. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. One or more non-transitory memory embodied with machine-executable instructions for certifying an oil and gas device being tested by a testing user, the oil and gas device having an electronic tag affixed thereto that stores a device identifier associated with the oil and gas device, comprising:
-
receiving, from the device of the testing user, the device identifier stored on electronic tag of the oil and gas device to be tested; selecting, based on the received device identifier, testing operations for certifying the oil and gas device; notifying the device of the testing user of the selected testing operations; receiving testing data upon performance of the selected testing operations by the testing user; comparing the received testing data against testing criteria for the oil and gas device; generating a certificate for storage on the electronic tag indicating the oil and gas device is either fit or not fit for use based on the comparison of the received testing data against the testing criteria; and transmitting the generated certificate to the device of the testing user for storage on the electronic tag. - View Dependent Claims (20)
